Twenty-seven wins in a Cub cloth — a 1.91 ERA, thirty-three complete games, and SkillScore still sitting on the mountain. Chicago got the peak that refused to soft-pedal. Seven shutouts, five saves when the book asked, and an arm that looked bored while the league looked late. The frames keep the W stack honest.
